I believe you're arguing that the "wrapper" semantic, being similarly ubiquitous, thus needs its own new element as well. What you're missing is that the "wrapper" semantic is precisely what<div> already expresses.
I do understand usuario's <wrapper> proposal slightly different from <div>: Section 4.5.13 of the spec generally states that the <div> element is conveying structure, but not semantics.
Usuario's <wrapper> is not structural, but purely presentational. It should actually not be there at all from an HTML point of view, but is necessary for CSS reasons.
I agree with Bjartur Thorlacius' point that it makes more sense to enhance CSS the way that presentational markup gets totally obsolete in the future - but the idea of an element that is explicitly non-structural does not look that odd to me.
